Grey’s Anatomy: Casting related scoop on a new doctor

The Grey’s Anatomy premiere killed me! What’s next?

Now we get in a group hug and sob over the loss of McSteamy. But life goes on, so now would be a good time to tell you that based on this character description, Grey’s is looking for a female McSteamy replacement. A new doctor will be joining the team, and she is described as brilliant and charismatic with dark hair. Sound familiar? And this new doc could be at Seattle Grace for longer than just a couple episodes. But don’t get too attached…we all know what happens when you fall in love with someone on Grey’s Anatomy. (Sob!)

I find it funny and ironic that all these Grey’s Anatomy fans are lamenting new doctors and the death of Mark Sloan. People have been writing me and telling me they don’t want new doctors, commenting on posts whenever a Grey’s Anatomy Casting Scoop comes up, “Go Away! We don’t want you!” Somehow completely forgetting that at one time, Dr. Mark Sloan was a NEW DOCTOR.

Grey’s Anatomy is ABC’s ER. New doctors will always be cast, just like Eric Dane was and if the audience takes to them, like they took to Mark Sloan, then they become series regulars. As long as Ellen Pompeo is on the show, I think Grey’s Anatomy will be on the air.

Actually, I think it would even survive her leaving the show, for maybe a season or two (Not that I’d ever want that to happen, but if the show is still doing 10 million viewers per week and Ellen Pompeo wants out, and the cast and producers don’t, I’d bet ABC would renew it without Dr. Grey). I know it’s really early but Grey’s Anatomy’s ratings are up from last year and my Grey’s Anatomy posts make for some of my best web-traffic. So, people are still interested, don’t kid yourself.

Grey’s Anatomy Returns with 9×02 ‘Remember The Time,’ on Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 9pm on ABC.
